I share Lucas sentiment in that Campbell was far more powerful as a speaker than a writer. I can't stand his books; I sold my copy of Hero a few years ago--it had Luke Skywalker on the cover actually.

For the few I know his writtings, I'm not that surprised. I found much better food between some great book on Scandinavia ancient Runes and a few other mythologic / symbolic subjects I've been interested in... Not mentioning the great Lord of the Rings wich looks like the closest blueprint of Star Wars I know.

Sorry for the "ignorant" enthusiasm in my first post above. :/ :P
